THE LORD REALLY LET ME DOWN... but oh so very, very gently! Some time ago I was hired to build steps down a cliff that was about 10 stories high. There were places that fell straight down, as was the first section. It fell about 13 feet to a rock platform about four feet wide.
I had finished a platform about 3ftx4ft and steps down from it about 16ft. (Handrails) had not yet been installed.
I was standing on the landing and I tripped on something, and went headfirst towards the flat rock below! I only had time to scream out the name of the LORD, and immediately I was jolted to a STOP about three feet from the rock!
I felt something tight around my ankle and as it I hung there, I was slowly being lowered. As my head touched the rock below, I could feel my shoe being slowly pulled off my foot. Just after the middle of my back was on the ground, my shoe came off and I lay flat on my back!
A vine had wrapped around my ankle and stretched and gave just enough to place me there.
God is a very present help in time of trouble. That vine was already there, so HE surely answers before we call!
Praise HIS holy Name!
